Beef Taco’s
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ diced red onion
- ½ diced green pepper
- ½ diced red pepper
- 1 cup diced mushrooms
- 1 package of taco seasoning with some water
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup grated cheese
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 package taco shells, hard or soft
DIRECTIONS
- First, sauté the beef with the onions and the garlic. Cook thoroughly and then set aside in a bowl on the stove. Sauté mushrooms and peppers in olive oil. When veggies are limp return beef to pan and add seasonings. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. While simmering put lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and sour cream in separate bowls and serve on the side. Warm the tortillas on a plate in the microwave.
- Make it Healthier:
- ✔ Use extra lean ground beef
- ✔ Use mixed greens instead of ice burg lettuce.
- ✔ Use low-fat cheese and sour cream
- ✔ Instead of using flour tortillas, use multi-grain corn tortillas crumbled up and make a salad instead of taco’s
